I am looking for a child psychologist. My children are in a situation where child arrangments are being done for them by the courts but nobody is listening to them. They have said several times to the authorities that they dont want to see their dad but nobody is listening to them. They are stressed out and don't wish to be part of those arrangements. I need a psychologist, who can support us with a session and a letter for court. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. It's urgent and important.

How old are they?

I think any psychologist would have to be appointed by the court and jointly commissioned by both parties. Do you have a solicitor? If so, get their advice on this.

This.

Most family courts won't accept reports unless they've Directed them.
